Chapter 1418: Chapter 339: Rebellion Intent_3

Fong Yuanyang looked up again at Lord Zheng, surprisingly showing a smile,

and said:

"Prince?"

For some unknown reason, upon seeing Fong Yuanyang, Lord Zheng felt much more at ease.

Loyal generals had grown too tiresome, finally encountering someone pliable.

If all the Chu people were steadfastly loyal, the Yan Army’s iron cavalry would truly face tough resistance.

"Rise."

"Thank you, Prince."

The officer said:

"Lord, this man voluntarily led his guard to surrender."

"That counts as a merit for you."

"Thank you, Lord!"

The officer led his men away.

Immediately,

Lord Zheng pointed at Fong Yuanyang,

and said:

"Give him a seat."

Xue Three pulled over a chair.

Fong Yuanyang sat down with great aristocratic grace, even adjusting his long hair at the temples.

Zhou Huaizong looked at him and shouted:

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

Fong Yuanyang seemed not to hear, and instead said to Lord Zheng:

"If I had known earlier that you were here, Prince, I wouldn’t have dared to order resistance by any means; I would have proactively opened the city gates to surrender to you.

In my view, surrendering to you, Prince, is not dishonorable but rather the honor of my life, after all, not everyone has the chance to be defeated by someone of your caliber, Prince."

His words were truly pleasing.

"The Fong Family in Chu State isn’t considered a major family," Lord Zheng said while admiring his nails.

"But it’s not a minor family either," Fong Yuanyang replied with a smile.

"So, you’re planning to be the wise one who knows the times?"

"Indeed, I’m afraid to die."

"How about your family?"

The forces outside Town South Pass mainly consist of private armies of various noble families.

Nian Yao dared to arrange it so because if these noble disciples chose to surrender, their families would face immediate reckoning.

"Just report that I’ve already died in battle, who could verify?

Even the Phoenix Nest Guard, however capable, would find it hard to truly spy on the Yan Army.

Perhaps the Fong Family could receive some compensation from the court."

Lord Zheng nodded, quite the shameless person.

"Fong Yuanyang, the Fong Family will perish because of you!"

Zhou Huaizong began to curse vehemently.

Fong Yuanyang finally looked at Zhou Huaizong, bound and lying on the ground,

and said:

"You and Shi Old Three insisted on opening the city gates and sending cavalry to snatch my father-in-law’s remains; I opposed, but you didn’t listen. Without your foolishness, how could West Mountain Fortress fall?"

"You shameless, you beast!"

Zhou Huaizong, furious, continued to curse.

Ignoring him, Fong Yuanyang turned to Zheng Fan and smiled:

"Lord, I truly admire you and hope to serve under you before the Yan cavalry enters Chu."

He was obviously negotiating his status as a captive.

Clearly, staying with the eminent Lord Pingye would maximize his benefits.

He hadn’t even mentioned returning since it was impossible.

If he could be a surrendered general in the Yan Army, and if the Yan people could rule Chu as they did Jin, then he and the Fong Family might be preserved.

Lord Zheng looked at him, looked at him, looked at him,

then,

laughed.

Fong Yuanyang also laughed, surprisingly showing a shy smile, and said:

"Lord, you can use me."

"Oh?"

Fong Yuanyang looked around.

Zheng Fan waved his hand, ordering Zhou Huaizong’s mouth to be gagged and taken away.

The guards outside also exited through the main door.

Fong Yuanyang then looked towards the terrifying giant sitting at the door, and A Ming and Xue Three remaining inside.

Lord Zheng said:

"They are our own people."

Fong Yuanyang nodded, then stood up and bowed to Zheng Fan,

and said:

"Lord, there is something you’ll surely be interested in."

"Speak."

Fong Yuanyang took a deep breath,

and said in a deep voice:

"General Nian has long harbored rebellious intentions."
